Hi, First off, let me apologise for the level of detail in this message; if possible, I'd have made it shorter.
Anyway, I'm trying to learn J2EE; Tomcat seemed like a good choice to learn the underlying technology, rather than a particular JSP/Servlet container's deployment tool. I can get 'plain' JSP pages working fine. Unfortunately, I'm having major problems developing my own Javabeans applications for Tomcat; they all fail as shown below. The demos that come with Tomcat work fine (although I can't get the demo at http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.5-doc/appdev/sample to work; However- that's another story) I understand that I should simply be able to drop the directory structure containing my program into $CATALINA_HOME/webapps, restart Tomcat (I'm using 5.5.7) and have it work. Its contents (root:root ownership, Tomcat running as root) is:- skeleton skeleton/subapp skeleton/subapp/skeleton.jsp skeleton/WEB-INF skeleton/WEB-INF/classes skeleton/WEB-INF/lib skeleton/WEB-INF/lib/subapp skeleton/WEB-INF/lib/subapp/Beany.class skeleton/WEB-INF/lib/subapp/Beany.java skeleton/WEB-INF/lib/subapp.jar skeleton/WEB-INF/web.xml Contents of files listed at end of message. Here's what happens when I try to run it:- (1) When I try to access http://localhost:8080/skeleton/subapp/skeleton.jsp with the setup as above, I get HTTP Status 404 - Servlet org.apache.jsp.subapp.skeleton_jsp is not available message Servlet org.apache.jsp.subapp.skeleton_jsp is not available (2) If I move skeleton/WEB-INF/lib/subapp to skeleton/WEB-INF/classes/subapp, I get HTTP STATUS 500 - EXCEPTION REPORT The server encountered an internal error () that prevented it from fulfilling this request. EXCEPTION javax.servlet.ServletException: Wrapper cannot find servlet class org.apache.jsp.subapp.skeleton_jsp or a class it depends on org.apache.catalina.valves.ErrorReportValve.invoke (ErrorReportValve.java:105) [... SNIP ...] java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:595) ROOT CAUSE java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.jsp.subapp.skeleton_jsp org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoader.loadClass (WebappClassLoader.java:1332) [... SNIP ...] java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:595) (3) If I remove the deployment descriptor altogether, I get:- HTTP STATUS 500 - EXCEPTION REPORT The server encountered an internal error () that prevented it from fulfilling this request. EXCEPTION org.apache.jasper.JasperException: /subapp/skeleton.jsp(2,0) The value for the useBean class attribute subclass.Beany is invalid. org.apache.jasper.compiler.DefaultErrorHandler.jspError(DefaultErrorHandler.java:39) [... SNIP ...] javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:802) In short, it fails; in three noticeably different ways, granted; but it still fails. What on EARTH am I doing wrong or missing out?! I'd really appreciate some feedback on this. Thank you in advance. ============================================================ Here are the files:- ********** SKELETON.JSP: <html> <jsp:useBean id="beanId" class="subclass.Beany" scope="session" /> <head><title>Foo Bar</title></head> <body> <h1>Foo Bar</h1> Duzzy wuzzy was a duck; ducky fuzzy duck a wuzz blah blah some more yak. </body> </html> ----------------------------------------------------------- ********** WEB.XML <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <!-- Copyright 2004 The Apache [SNIP] --> <web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd"; version="2.4"> <display-name>Display Name</display-name> <description> Display Description </description> <!-- JSPC servlet mappings start --> <servlet> <servlet-name>org.apache.jsp.subapp.skeleton_jsp</servlet-name> <servlet-class>org.apache.jsp.subapp.skeleton_jsp</servlet-class> </servlet> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>org.apache.jsp.subapp.skeleton_jsp</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/subapp/skeleton.jsp</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> <!-- JSPC servlet mappings end --> ----------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------- ********** BEANY.JAVA package subapp; public class Beany { private int first; /** Public no-args constructor */ public Beany() { first = 404; } public int getFirst() { return first; } public void setFirst(int first) { this.first = first; } public String stringy = "Original Value"; public String getStringy() { return stringy; } public void setStringy(String stringy) { this.stringy = stringy; } } -------------------------------------- The Beany.jar file contains the Beany.java and Beany.class files ___________________________________________________________ Too much spam in your inbox?
